"Anyway, Chiyu Academy no longer exists... so I have nowhere else to go..."

Besides, my dad has been missing for so long, how could I possibly let go of any clue?

Judging from the little guy's tone, she definitely knows that stinky old man, so...

—No matter what it takes, I have to get the whereabouts of that stinky old man from her!

"I see. Then Bronya can stay with Mei-neechan. Anyway, Bronya has lost her memory now, so it's not a bad thing for her to stay with Mei-neechan and that idiot Kiana."

"Fool???"

After pinpointing a particular word, Kiana glared at Bronya with an unfriendly expression.

"Who are you calling an idiot, you little brat!"

“If Miss Theresa hadn’t stopped you, you would have been swallowed up by that barrier that the perverted big brother unintentionally released.”

After giving Kiana a cold glance, Bronya said in a cold voice.

"Those who panic and act rashly when faced with a problem are called fools."

"You! You ...

"Angry? No rebuttal? Then it seems that even if you're an idiot, you know that what you did was wrong."

Seeing the two start arguing, a bitter smile gradually appeared on Gu Yu's face.

Although the entire plot changed completely from the moment he, the "butterfly," appeared, the three Valkyries who studied at St. Freya in the original timeline still chose to enter the school after the plot changed.

Sometimes I feel that fate, this elusive thing, is actually real.

"So, Yae, what about you?"

Looking at Yae Sakura, who should have become a stigmata, Gu Yu asked.

"What are your plans? Even though you owe me a favor, there's no need for you to follow me around like a bodyguard."

"I don't have anywhere I want to go at the moment."

After saying this casually, Yae Sakura glanced at the piloting card in her hand, a warm smile appearing on her face.

"I am already very satisfied to be able to see Rin again and exchange a few words with her from time to time."

"Therefore, in the time to come, I will become Mr. Gu Yu's sword. I will do my utmost to meet any needs Mr. Gu Yu may have!"

"No, it hasn't really come to that."

Looking at the extremely serious expression in the Herrscher girl's eyes, Gu Yu felt an immense headache coming on.

"I helped you out just out of the ordinary, there's no need to make such a big deal out of it."

"No, I think it's necessary."

Looking at Yae Sakura talking to Gu Yu, Raiden Mei suddenly stopped talking.

For some reason, she felt as if a large character was flashing above her head.

Dangerous.

After everyone returned to the Far East branch in an orderly fashion from the Hyperion, Theresa, watching the group of boys and girls walk out of the lounge, said to Himeko beside her.

"I'll take them to the infirmary later."

"Oh? So proactive?"

Himeko was not moved at all when she saw Theresa take the initiative to take on the work.

"So, what is the price?"

"You write the report."

"An interview!"

Himeko said irritably after hearing Theresa's request.

"This trip to Changkong City was originally uneventful. The Herrscher didn't make a move, and the Hyperion suffered basically no losses as it didn't fight the Herrscher."

"As a result of your mistake, the Hyperion almost crashed, the Herrscher almost went berserk, and that boy who could pull Schicksal into the fold turned against us."

"Do you know how much this report is going to be? I'll be spending my entire week's vacation time on it!"

"I know, that's why I gave it to you."

After simply shrugging her hands, Theresa changed the subject.

"You know I'm not good at handling these things... Wait, let me take this call...?!"

Upon seeing the message on her communicator, Theresa abandoned Himeko and ran quickly toward the Far East branch commander's office.

"Theresa! Hey! Don't go!"

Watching Theresa's hurried departure, Himeko glanced at the group of incredibly frightening boys and girls and sighed softly.

What could she do? She couldn't just say she was sneaking off to slack off by herself.

If this group isn't handled properly and gets provoked, the Far East branch might be completely destroyed by them.

No, my head hurts so much.

"Alright, everyone, let's go to the infirmary together."

After mentally ranting about Theresa dozens of times, Himeko looked at Gu Yu and the others and walked over.

"If you don't mind, let me take you to the Far East branch's infirmary."

"After all, this kid doesn't look too good, and that little girl over there who's unconscious also needs medical attention."

"Yes, thank you so much."

Watching Theresa's departing figure, Gu Yu felt increasingly uneasy.

In the original manga, Theresa waited for Kiana to wake up in her hospital bed. Logically speaking, even if Kiana had done something terrible and called Theresa "little dwarf," there's no way she would have been angry for so long.

From this perspective, Theresa must have had reasons why she had to leave.

The Far East Branch may seem like a large branch, but there are only a few things that the commander-in-chief needs to do.

Currently, handling matters related to the Lawyers is the Far East Branch's biggest task, but Theresa's expression changed and she left abruptly.

Something's not right here.

P.S.: Nothing much to say, I'm keeping going.

Chapter 52. The Most Familiar Stranger

Tianming Far East Branch - Office of the Person in Charge

In the director's office, a black-haired girl was staring at Lynn Maki, who was standing next to Dr. Maki.

What should I say?

Looking at her senior, Wendy, a student at St. Freya Academy, tilted her head and tentatively asked.

"Hello, Senior Lin?"

"Come on, Wendy, what kind of senior am I?"

Looking at the black-haired girl in front of her, Lynn Maki couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

The girl in front of me, Wendy, was just an ordinary girl a few years ago.

However, Lin, a C-rank Valkyrie, is already considered a gifted genius at St. Freya Academy.

But everything changed after Wendy was brought from New Zealand to St. Freya College to start her studies.

Wendy, who had just graduated from elementary school, displayed an incredibly terrifying talent on her very first day.

Although her academic performance was poor, Wendy was a genius when it came to combat, learning at an extremely fast pace.

Even though Lin felt threatened by Wendy's appearance and started working frantically, in the end, she was still caught up by Wendy on the spot.

During the exam where the two of them were to advance to B-rank Valkyrie, Lin could tell that Wendy wasn't taking it seriously at all.

Perhaps for her, the B-rank Valkyrie exam wasn't even a difficult exam.

Then, Lin witnessed the very thing she had suspected would inevitably happen.

Wendy, who was only a middle school student, had already become an A-rank Valkyrie before Lynn.

Even though Lin successfully advanced to A-rank Valkyrie in the next exam, she still lost to Wendy, and lost completely.

If Wendy continues to act arrogantly based on her talent, Lynn might become resentful of the girl.

However, in their daily interactions, Lin could sense that Wendy was not scheming at all and was very friendly to her companions.

After being trained to the point of being battered and bruised by their two teachers, Theresa and Himeko, Wendy's words were always like a refreshing breeze, taking away everyone's fatigue.

She was like the most dazzling light in St. Freya Academy, making it impossible for Lin to look directly at her.

"Then let me call you Lin, just like when we were in school."

After waving her hand with a grin, Wendy suddenly stopped smiling.

Lin, sensing the gaze behind her, also perked up.

"Archbishop Otto, Wendy Weider, an A-rank Valkyrie belonging to the Far East Branch, reports for duty as per your orders!"

"Alright, no need for formalities."

After hearing a series of hurried footsteps, Otto looked toward the door of the room.

"Theresa? You've come at the perfect time."

"Grandpa! What exactly do you want to do!"

Seeing the two strongest students from her school's graduating class in this office, Theresa had a bad feeling.

“Oh, my dear granddaughter. I told you long ago that our mission is to fight against the Honkai.”

As if he knew what his granddaughter was thinking, Otto spoke to Theresa in a pretentious manner.
